Andy Wolf Inside (19 August 2000)


I took a load of pics of the inside of the house. Unfortunately, the flash is dead on my camera, so some of them are a bit grungy, but it gives you the idea of what it looks like inside.
sep01^02.jpg (82314 bytes) Patrick and our brand spanking new (to us) commute car - the RX-7, outside one of the more curious petrol stations about an hour south of here - they have a flying saucer crashed into the roof, complete with small green, sticky-footed aliens.
sep01^03-04.jpg (49721 bytes) The front entrance to Andy Wolf - you go through the "tunnel" under the deck and curve around to the front steps (behind the ivy on the right).
sep01^05-07.jpg (62130 bytes) Grungy photo of the downstairs "garage-a-like"
(pft's room). The door to the left leads to the "wine cellar" (mud floored area under the house) and the yellowish thing to the right of the pink curtain is a cupboard door that has an ironing board behind it, built into the wall.

What's an "ironing board"?

sep01^10-13.jpg (107671 bytes) Oddly distorted view showing the south side of the house. The two windows are the master bedroom, followed by a small ensuite bathroom window (I'd like to make that a big window, so's I can sit in the bath and look out at the trees), followed by the "mud room" door, followed by another small bathroom window and the glass door through to the living room. We want to put a big window there instead of the door. Eventually, we'd like to either put a roof above the closest part of the deck and maybe screen it in, or build another deck/patio to the left of this pic - behind the house. The swimming pool is just to my left in this pic.
sep01^14.jpg (31624 bytes) The wood stove in the corner of the living room, and, to the right, the rest of the living room, showing the archway through to the hall and the glass back door. It has a wood ceiling, a ceiling fan, and a green carpet. The small wooden door to the left of the glass back door is the door to the dumb waiter <grin>. The kitchen is to my right and the dining room behind me.

Sep01^36-37.jpg (58711 bytes)View of the kitchen (taken from where pft is standing above) looking towards the two windows in the dining room.

Sep01^32.jpg (24215 bytes) Standing in the hall looking towards the front door (OK, so you can't see much). You can also see through the archway into the kitchen. The living room is to my right. The corridor to the rest of the house two steps up to my left.
Sep01^33.jpg (30593 bytes) Kitchen sink
Sep01^21.jpg (25866 bytes) The "mud room" (currently a sewing room). This connects from the corridor to the outside. There's also a door through to the other side of the ensuite bathroom. We plan to move the laundry stuff up from the "basement room" to here (the connections are already in), and turn this into a mud room/laundry/dog room/cat litter tray room/etc room (there will be a cat/dog flap in the door).
Sep01^23.jpg (27142 bytes) View looking out of the spare 'oom.
Sep01^25.jpg (30821 bytes) Master bedroom... I don't think the bed is staying, though... :(    It has a ceiling fan, so's we can pretend we're in Georgia and fawn about on the bed. It also has wood wainscott along the outside wall.

Left: Mud room (not visible), cupboard (in front of the ensuite bathroom) and master bedroom.

In the middle is a wooden cupboard door.

Right: two spare 'ooms.

sep01^29.jpg (30618 bytes) Ensuite bathroom sink (the pics of the big bath din't come out).
sep01^30.jpg (20902 bytes)sep01^31.jpg (23832 bytes) Spare bathroom. pft left the tap to run for a while in the shower and the interesting sulphur smell emanating from the water finally went away (phew, otherwise we'd have to provide pegs to showering visitors).
sep01^38.jpg (37130 bytes) pft sitting on the rocks below the back stairs.
Sep01^41.jpg (40407 bytes) Nuturing his orchard...
Sep01^40.jpg (35512 bytes) The new battle wagon at the foot of the front entrance

(pft has the bonnet open so's I can admire the engine... hmm...yes...very nice...)
